CONCORD, N.C. -- Pat Tryson, who was fired by Roush Fenway Racing last week, is close to a deal with Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Richie Gilmore, the director of motorsports at DEI, hopes to have Tryson, who was Greg Biffle's crew chief, signed within the next two weeks.
"[Pat Tryson's] looking at a couple of other options, but right now we're at the top of his list.''

Pizza Grilled Cheese
- 4 slices of bread
- butter or margarine
- 4 slices of mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni (I used reg and cut in half but mini size would be good too)
- Italian seasoning or basil
- Parmesan cheese (opt)
- pizza sauce for dipping
- *Warm a medium/large skillet over medium heat. Butter each piece of bread on one side. When skillet is hot place a piece of bread butter side down on the skillet then add one slice of cheese and small shake of Italian seasoning or basil (add a small shake of parmesan cheese here too if desired). Top with a desired amount of pepperonis (I used about 8 -10 whole regular pepperonis per sandwich) If any other toppings are desired, add now. Add another slice of mozzarella and top with slice bread butter side up. Repeat with second sandwich. When bottom slice is golden brown then flip over carefully. Once both sides are brown remove from pan cut and serve with pizza sauce if desired. Make 2 sandwiches

Growth, structure, morphology, and magnetic properties of Ni ferrite films

Published: 27 April 2013Abstract
The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) films fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on Si(111) substrate have been investigated as functions of film thickness. Prepared films that have not undergone post-annealing show the better spinel crystal structure with increasing growth time. Meanwhile, the size of grain also increases, which induces the change of magnetic properties: saturation magnetization increased and coercivity increased at first and then decreased. Note that the sample of 10-nm thickness is the superparamagnetic property. Transmission electron microscopy displays that the film grew with a disorder structure at initial growth, then forms spinel crystal structure as its thickness increases, which is relative to lattice matching between substrate Si and NiFe2O4.

Title: | Surface mediated assembly of small, metastable gold nanoclusters |
Published: | May 27, 2013 |
Abstract: | The unique properties of metallic nanoclusters are attractive for numerous commercial and industrial applications but are generally less stable than nanocrystals. Thus, developing methodologies for stabilizing nanoclusters and retaining their enhanced functionality is of great interest. We report the assembly of PPh3-protected Au9 clusters from a heterogeneous mixture into films consisting of sub 3 nm nanocluster assemblies. The depositing nanoclusters are metastable in solution, but the resulting nanocluster assemblies are stabilized indefinitely in air or fresh solvent. The films exhibit distinct structure from Au nanoparticles observed by X-ray diffraction, and film dissolution data support the preservation of small nanoclusters. UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy are used to elucidate information regarding the nanocluster formation and assembly mechanism. Preferential deposition of nanocluster assemblies can be achieved on multiple substrates, including polymer, Cr, Si, SiO2, SiNx, and metal‹organic frameworks (MOFs). Unlike other vapor phase coating processes, nanocluster assembly on the MIL-68(In) MOF crystal is capable of preferentially coating the external surface and stabilizing the crystal structure in hydrothermal conditions, which should enhance their storage, separation and delivery capabilities. |

Forum migration mostly complete. Please see this post for more info and post any issues.
Did you run the "default browser chooser" script and specify Firefox?
When I enable firewall in vasm>network then I get an infinite loop of "starting firewall ........" Also during startup the system hangs, probably for the same reason. When I loaded from a livecd I noticed a file rc.FireWall in /etc/rc.d. After changing filename to rc.firewall the system managed to start, but I'm not yet sure if firewall actually works. Is that a bug?
## if exist, start the new default firewall service if [ -x $service_firewall ]; then if [ ! -x $rc_firewall ]; then chmod +x $rc_firewall fi echo "Starting firewall service ..." service firewall start return $? fi
if [ "$FIREWALL_SCRIPT" ] && [ -x $FIREWALL_SCRIPT ]; then echo "Starting firewall $FIREWALL_SCRIPT ..." $FIREWALL_SCRIPT start return $? fi
Don't know if this will help or not as I use 5.9 (standard, I believe-its not soho) instead of vector light. Here is what would happen to me. I would add big paws code at the end of rc.firewall, and it seemed to work fine. Then I would check services in Vasm and it said my firewall was not enabled, so I would enable it. Then go to Network and, according to the instructions, open a firewall. Then the machine would freeze and not boot. I would then use Puppy to look at etc/rc.d on my machine and delete rc.firewall. Machine would boot then into Vector. But no firewall. At a friend's suggestion, and with no rc.firewall at all on my machine, I downloaded guarddog and set that up. It says it creates a new rc.firewall. Anyway, it seems to work fine, though, sadly, I now have to remember to enable guarddog whenever I reboot.

This was a fun little project that I've been working on for a while. I've never really worked with a Dubstep melody quite like this, but the change was gooood :D
Sorry it's taking me a bit longer to get stuff uploaded, I've been asked onto a label and I've been making tunes to submit to them along with tunes for the good ol NG.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy! Leave me some reviews, I love feedback!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I have to go to sleep now.
I shall resume the epic saga tomorrow.

Great song, I love the chorus.
Could have had more of a climax, but I think it's brilliant.
Thanks a lot, man. I really appreciate the kind words! Glad you liked the song :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
very nice..
Your sense of melody is vibrant, loved the beat over all great song
Awesome, dude! Many thanks <3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i don't know if its just me but i'v noticed that you have a tendency to put out a lot of great music very quickly...
Oh and this song sounds great, and the way you balanced out the deep and the high-pitched notes make me want to replay this song over and over again!
Thanks a lot, man! That's really encouraging :) I'd probably have uploaded more songs, but I've been really busy with personal projects that I'm going to be sending to some labels ;) I'm doing my best to keep uploading for you guys though, so don't lose faith in me! Hahaha

Your absolutely correct and, that's exactly what I would expect "my Pitt" to do if you entered into my yard or home uninvited. "Responsible" people who choose to take on the responsibility of owning a "vicious breed" should know what they are capable of before they take on that responsibility. I feel that 90% of incidents involving Pitt Bulls are a direct result of irresponsible owners.

Squawk of the Day - March 6, 2013
I am a pit bull owner and my dog stays inside 90% of the time. She only goes outside to do her business and play when i have time to go out with her. I live in a neighborhood full of children running up and down the street every afternoon playing with balls and, with each other. I would feel comfortable leaving her out all day but I choose not to put her or myself in a situation where something bad may happen. I let her out one afternoon and went to get something out of the house only to return and find a group of teenage boys terrorizing my dog with sticks. They were laughing and thought it was funny. I blame irresponsible owners for the terrible things that happen involving pit bulls or any type of dog. Something bad is bound to happen when these animals are chained up to a tree for their entire lives with very little human contact.

What's the difference in getting married, making babies and then getting a divorce? OR just skipping the headache of marriage/divorce and living to make yourselves happy rather than try to please a bunch of judgmental, mean people? I thought I said I was in a committed relationship? Is it really that much different from marriage?
danielle1 2 years, 2 months ago on Terrell hit and run leaves two dead
Terrell hit and run leaves two dead
I want to know what is so wrong about 2 people being in a committed relationship with one another and choose to not be married right away. Yea I know what the bible says but who is anyone to judge and question someone's decision to not be married? I have been in a relationship for 9 years that produced 2 beautiful children but I think it is equally wrong for someone to question my decision to not up and run to the courthouse and get married. People have used and abused the system for years and will continue to do so regardless. Like others before me have said 2 innocent people tragically lost their lives way too early and it's very sad that this is what the topic of conversation has to be about.

Cocaine bust interests DEA agents
Im almost 100% positive that the 6000 is just the bond for the traffic violations that he received, I think I read there was around 21 charges. That is not including the charge for trafficing cocaine. It usually requires someone higher than a magistrate judge to grant a bond for a charge like that. It will more than likely take his PAID lawyer a month or two to get him a bond hearing scheduled before a superior court judge. This type of information makes me wonder about the reporters and writers of stories we read daily. They take absolutely no time to investigate facts so they can publish true information. 90% of the stories i read are probably misleading and sometimes all together bogus. You cant believe everything you read.

Umm thats exactly my point "spring chickens" if your current degree or job skill isnt helping you become employed, go back to school and learn something that will! Yall remind me of minoritys crying about discrimination "oh i cant get a job because im black or, i can get a job because im mexican, blah, blah, blah. I guess the "new" thing is "oh i cant get a job or go back to school because im old". Regardless of my spelling OR my annual income you got the point and, I have a job. Go try Walmart, they hire elderly and the mentally disabled. A job is a job, and in case you people havent noticed a lot of 2 year degrees have higher job placement than 4 year degrees. My mother had the same job for 30 years, lost that job and was offered a better one 3 months later and she is no "spring chicken" either. Rather than do something about your situation just get online and complain about it day after day, thatll show em for sure.

Im so sick of hearing people talk about there are no jobs, been out of work for 2+years ect. I just graduated college and was hired at the first job I applied for. If you have been out of work for a period of time maybe you should use that as an opportunity to go back to school. If your having trouble feeding and clothing your children because you dont have a job or an education, McDonalds is always hiring. Dont complain about your situation if you havent done anything to make it better. I dont think either canidate is much better than the other but if Obama is re-elected blame the republicans for not choosing a better opponate to run against him. Im not rich by far and I have recieved public assistance before so I concider myself apart of that 47% Romney was talking about. There a plenty of jobs out there, just maybe not jobs that you are qualified for.

I agree with Anothermom. If the whole paper had been dedicated to 911 then people would be fussin about that too, cant win for losing. I dont think I would go so far as name calling, saying people should get fired, or die for the choosing of SOTD . Sounds a bit dramatic to me but, I can also tell by some of the daily and numerous comments made by some people that they are not that intelligent anyways. Some of the trashy comments I see on here are no better than the Honey Boo Boo family anticts.

Citizens fight recovery residence (updated)
I guess the child molesters and drug dealers that live on every street in Albany dont make property values decline? Or how about lets not help these women and let them walk, live, and work on the streets. I am sure that will increase property value as much as the active gangs in this town along with the nightly smash and grabs. Heartless. And obviously if the drug dealers and prostitutes are in the facility they are seeking a positive change and help to change their lifestyles, they can leave the center at their own will so I am sure if they wanted to relapse they would leave the facility and the area. Its not just the gang bangers and drug dealers that make Albany an awful town to live in, its ignorant people like this that dont welcome positive change.

Franchise Notes
Published October 8, 2010
The Mets early next week will "begin interviewing candidates" to be their next GM, announcing Thursday that they have received permission to interview White Sox VP & Assistant GM Rick Hahn and Red Sox Assistant to the GM Allard Baird. The team also has "scheduled an interview" with former D'Backs GM Josh Byrnes (NYTIMES.com, 10/7). In addition, sources indicated that MLB consultant Sandy Alderson "likely has the backing" of Commissioner Bud Selig "should Alderson decide to pursue the job" (NYDAILYNEWS.com, 10/7). However, Rays Senior VP/Baseball Operations Gerry Hunsicker, another rumored candidate, Thursday said that he "prefers to stay with the Rays" (N.Y. POST, 10/8).
AM I THAT TRANSPARENT? Wizards Owner Ted Leonsis earlier this week shared his plans for the NBA franchise in a blog entry titled, "The Wisdom of Our Crowds -- 101 To Do List Final." Leonsis posted his "List of 101 Signs of Visible Change," which includes fan suggestions and "what he has done." Leonsis noted one of the suggestions, to change the Wizards' colors back to red, white and blue, is "In-development," while a call for the team to revert to its Bullets nickname is "Under consideration" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 10/6). ESPN's Michael Wilbon said he believes the name change back to Bullets "ultimately ... will happen" ("PTI," ESPN, 10/7).
TAKING THE BLAME: NBA Commissioner David Stern this week "admitted that he erred in August" by giving the Knicks "permission to hire" Isiah Thomas as a consultant. Stern said, "It's fair to say that I missed the issue. I told them they could do it. And when it was announced, I wasn't officially informed, but I knew and my guys said that's not allowed. Oh, I blew that one pretty good. And I called them up and told them." Stern redacted his approval six days later because Thomas is currently the head basketball coach at Florida Int'l Univ. (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 10/8).
STILL THE BOSS: In Newark, Rich Chere reports Devils President, CEO & GM Lou Lamoriello has "lost some of his widespread influence on the team's non-hockey matters." Devils Owner Jeff Vanderbeek "has become more hands-on with marketing decisions and has brought in people to run business aspects" such as Prudential Center. But Lamoriello "scoffed" at "those who think he's lost some of his clout as GM." Lamoriello: "Everything I'm doing today, is the same thing I've done in the past" (Newark STAR-LEDGER, 10/8).

Dear God Tracker
God-Tracking Is Keeping No Record of Wrongs
I know we could all share bad-boss stories and how we've been hard done by, by our employers. But I once worked for a man who would play his subordinates up against each other in an attempt to create sufficient discord in order to place him in a better position of control. It got so bad that I began to keep a record of our conversations and of his offences against me in a notepad just in case I needed it someday, you understand.
These confrontations and offences continued at an alarming rate until a breaking point was reached and all was revealed. However, during the months leading up to this moment I had a dream. In the dream I saw myself standing with my chest against an iron barrier like the type found at a border crossing. Behind me the scene was desolate and barren but on the other side of the barrier fresh green meadows stretched out as far as you could see. I remember desperately trying to get at those green fields but the barrier prevented my moving forward.
I was troubled by this dream for some days. Then one morning, at work, I was preparing content for my Christian radio show. I was feeling particularly emotionally dry at that moment and prayed, "Lord, I need your help." I had the Bible open and as I looked down into the pages of Isaiah I read, "Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk," (Isaiah 58:9). Instantly, I knew that it was I who was pointing the finger! I was guilty of holding an account of wrong. Without delay I dug into my shirt pocket and retrieved my little "just-in-case-I-need-it" notepad and ripped it apart. As the pieces of that little book fell into my wastepaper bin, in my mind's eye, I saw the barrier in my dream lift like a weight off my shoulders. I was free from condemnations and free from offence; free to walk out into the lush pastures of God's purposes.
God-tracking is keeping no record of wrongs.
Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Verse of the Week
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Quote of the Week
A Sample of Dudley's Fave Quotes.
"To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee." --- William H. Walton
Don't Give-up, Look-up!
Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!
Have The Same Attitude As Christ
Philippians 2:
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
"O Lord, my God, I realise now that have been the one in the wrong. I'm sorry for holding this grudge for so long. I repent of unforgiveness and ask that you will forgive me of all bitterness, pride and self-seeking. I choose to let my offences go. I pray for those who have offended me. Help them to see their errors, but help me to forgive and love them. Thank you for the luscious green pastures ahead of me now as I walk in the freedom of your grace. Lord, I want to have the same attitude as Christ; he forgave those who had crucified him. Amen."

Editors' Review
+The publisher of PureRa claims that it "removes files from your computer that other mainstream cleaning programs tend to oversee," by which we suppose they mean "overlook." Though it's neither the most attractive nor the most grammatically accurate program we've encountered, we found that it works well as a quick, no-nonsense way to rid your computer of unwanted files.
The program has an extremely simple and intuitive user interface. It lists a variety of file types and locations that you can check off for removal, including temporary files, Recycle Bin files, software distribution logs, WMI Logs, thumbnail caches, and more. User have the option of selecting individual file types for removal, or selecting the Check All option, which cleans them all in one fell swoop. We went through and selected each file type and location for cleaning, and what can we say? The little program performed as promised. Our one complaint with PureRa has to do with its log feature. It's supposed to create a log after each cleaning, but it only returned a blank Notepad page. The program doesn't offer any kind of Help feature; however, clicking the About button took us to the publisher's Web site, which offered an explanation for the different file types and locations in case you're unsure.
PureRa is completely free. It comes as a ZIP file, but it's accessible after extraction, with no formal installation required. Despite the lackluster log feature, we recommend it for all users in need of a capable cleaning utility.
Publisher's Description
+PuraRa is a simple tool that does a simple job: it removes files from your computer that other mainstream cleaning programs tend to overlook. Some of our targets can simply be removed to create some valuable space while others are removed in an attempt to repair certain problems because they will simply recreate themselves.
What's new in this version:
Changelog for PureRa 1.7: [Added] CryptURLCache cleaning [Updated] Format of 'total space cleaned' statistic in log

Changes in soil mineralogy and texture caused by slash-and-burn fires in Sumatra, Indonesia.
Title | Changes in soil mineralogy and texture caused by slash-and-burn fires in Sumatra, Indonesia. |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
Year of Publication | 2000 |
Authors | Ketterings Q, Bigham J, Laperche V |
ContactAuthor | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Journal | Soil Science Society of America Journal |
Volume | 64 |

Keywords | Agriculture, Fire, mineralogy, slash-and-burn, soil, Sumatra |
Abstract | We investigated the effect of fire intensity from slash-and-burn agriculture on the mineralogy of Oxisols in the Sepunggur area, Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, in both field and laboratory experiments. Samples were collected from two depths (0–5 and 5–15 cm) at locations exposed to 100, 300, 600, and 600 C surface temperatures during the burns. Soils under forest and slashed vegetation were collected as controls. The pre-burn soil mineralogy was dominated by kaolinite, gibbsite, anatase, and goethite. Changes in soil properties with burning were most pronounced in the 0- to 5-cm layer. Burning the topsoil led to coarser textures, especially at temperatures exceeding 600 C. Heat reduced the gibbsite and kaolinite concentrations and converted goethite into ultra-fine maghemite, thus increasing the magnetic susceptibility of the samples. The conversion of goethite did not take place until water in the samples had vaporized. Addition of organic matter to soil with a low organic C content before heating increased the magnetic susceptibility, indicating that organic matter was necessary (and limiting) for the complete conversion of goethite. Coarse-grained magnetite particles were present prior to and after the burning and, therefore, were not pyrogenic. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were highly discriminatory among heat treatments, whereas x-ray diffraction (XRD) was much less sensitive to fire induced changes in mineralogy. Our research showed that severe burning had drastic effects on soil mineralogy, but changes should also be expected at lower fire intensities. Further research is needed to determine how important these changes in soil mineralogy are for nutrient availability in the growing season after the burn. |

Roza Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Category: | Red Wine |
Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot |
Region: | United States » Washington » Yakima Valley |
Producer: | Roza Ridge |
Winemaker Andy Gamache takes the best parcels at Hyatt Vineyards in crafting the Roza Ridge line. The fruit profile is a nicely structured blast of black cherry with a seam of blueberry and the oak quotient and tannins are perfectly integrated. This is yet another example of the quality and value emanating from the great state of Washington.
Wine Enthusiast
This is a sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated, Bordeaux-style blend, with 9% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec. It carries a note of leather and drying tannins, suggesting that you should drink it fairly soon. It should be delicious with a grilled steak.

Save Suffolk County Council's Badgers from Culling
This is a national issue which will be of direct concern to the people of the Suffolk County Council area when DEFRA "rolls out" its culling policy in 2014.
The object of the petition is to ensure that Suffolk County Council's badger population is as safe as possible from slaughter and that the already available injectable badger vaccine against bTB is used in as many cases as possible.
We ask this because we believe the culling policy is inhumane (DEFRA's measurement of "humaneness" is to time the screams of wounded badgers), inefficient (previous culls showed an increase in bTB because of badger movement) and unscientific (the majority of scientific opinion hold that a cull will have "no meaningful result").
To preserve the integrity of this petition please only sign it if you live, work or study in the Suffolk County Council area.
For details of badger petitions in other parts of England, please contact B-R-A-V-E http://www.b-r-a-v-e.co.uk
We, the undersigned, call on Suffolk County Council to prohibit the culling of badgers on council-owned land and invest in vaccination programmes locally. We ask this because we believe culling to be inhumane, inefficient and unscientific.
Suzanne Kerr
I won't be standing by & letting this happen on my doorstep & will be our there to help stop this disgusting cull.
I'd cull OP, before letting any badgers get culled :/ -
jean Jackson
The badger cull has been a shambolic failure. Extremely cruel and unnecessary and should be replaced by a programme of vaccination.
Leisha Kenlock
Nobody wants the badger cull except for those who can make money from it. It's disgusting. We are all responsible for the planet we live on. It sickens me that there are those who would exterminate such beautiful creatures, part of the world that we have a responsibility to look after, for profit. They have more of a right to be here than we do. Humans are the problem here, not the badgers. I hope that the Suffolk County Council will recognise this and stop the badger cull. It would be the moral and right thing to do.

COMMENTS: The badger cull proved scientifically and financially (not to mention morally) that the cull was an unmitigated disaster. The decent thing for Owen Patterson et al to do now is admit that and go with the vaccination program.

Anonymous hackers recently released another batch of emails taken from a climate research group at the University of East Anglia in 2009, along with a document containing numbered excerpts of purportedly incriminating material. Many of these selections have been cropped in a way that completely distorts their meaning, but they were nonetheless repeated by conservative media outlets who believe climate change is a "hoax" and a "conspiracy."
The Daily Caller's attempt to pass out pitchforks to GOP members of Congress and send them after Attorney General Eric Holder has now been called out by the target himself.
TPM's Ryan J. Reilly reports:
Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday told a reporter with the conservative news website The Daily Caller that the news organization was ginning up calls for him to resign over ATF's botched Operation Fast and Furious.
The reporter approached Holder after an event at the White House on the federal government's efforts to combat counterfeit goods.
"You guys need to... you guys need to stop this," TPM heard Holder tell the reporter. "There's not an organic* thing happening, you guys are behind this."
Holder was referencing Daily Caller reporter Matthew Boyle's month-long quest to find relatively low-ranking Republican members of Congress interested in taking a free shot at the Obama administration by calling for Holder's resignation. The putative rationale for these calls is the ATF's failed Operation Fast and Furious; new evidence has been revealed indicating that Holder know about the controversial tactics used in that operation.
You may remember Boyle from his public humiliation over a ludicrously false September report that the Environmental Protection Agency wants to hire "230,000 new bureaucrats -- at a cost of $21 billion -- to attempt to implement" new climate change regulations." Boyle's colleagues were reportedly embarrassed by the decision by DC executive editor David Martosko -- who has a long record in conservative political advocacy but none in journalism -- to stand behind Boyle's reporting.
At most publications, a misstep of this magnitude would have consequences. But at the Caller, it's more of a feature than a bug. And so Boyle has apparently spent much of the last month calling around to Republican politicians and asking them whether they think Holder should resign. That's creating a story, not reporting one.
Despite the best efforts of the right-wing media, Barack Obama's connections -- real and imagined -- to Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers weren't quite enough to poison the electorate against Obama in 2008. In fact, even with brief mainstream media flare-ups and Sean Hannity's twice-daily Ayers-Wright harangues, not many people seemed to care at all when it came time to vote.
Now that we're on the precipice of 2012, Ayers and Wright are being dragged out onto the stage again, presumably in the hope that the guilt-by-association campaign that failed in 2008 will, three years later, finally catch on and bring Obama down.
And this might even be understandable were there new information to report on Obama, Ayers, and Wright. But there isn't. So the old storylines are getting a hasty spit-shine for the new election season.
"Exclusive," announces The Daily Caller this morning, as they report on "video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller" that "shows Illinois Senator Barack Obama, then campaigning for Democrats before the 2006 midterm elections, praising Reverend Jeremiah Wright and telling an audience that he 'stole' the title of his book 'The Audacity of Hope' from Wright's sermon of the same name, which he 'loved.' Obama also referred to Wright as 'my pastor.' "
The video does indeed show Obama saying all those things, but the Daily Caller actually got scooped on this one. By Obama himself.
The Daily Caller is attempting to rehabilitate Alabama following the considerable backlash the state has received from passing the country's toughest and most controversial immigration law. In trying to manufacture positive press for Alabama, however, the Caller resorted to manufacturing truth.
In an article pointing to just-released government numbers that show a drop in Alabama's unemployment rate, the Daily Caller suggested the lower rate is attributable to the immigration law. It argued -- with support from the anti-immigrant Center for Immigration Studies -- that the data showed that previously unemployed Americans in Alabama are scooping up the jobs left behind by undocumented immigrants who have since deserted the state:
September was the first full month that the reform was in force, and the unemployment rate fell from 9.8 percent in September to 9.3 percent in October, according to a Nov. 18 report from the state government.
The rates fell from 9.9 percent to 9 percent in Etowah County, from 8.8 percent to 8.1 percent in Marshall county, and from 11.6 percent to 10.6 percent in DeKalb county.
"The latest fall in unemployment numbers is proof that American citizens will work, and continues to solidify [the evidence] that self-deportation [by illegal immigrants] due to the Alabama Taxpayer & Citizen's Protection Act is occurring," said Chuck Ellis, a city council member in Albertville -- the main town in Marshall County, northern Alabama.
The article went on to quote Steven Camerota from CIS, a purported "research" firm that is part of the nativist and anti-immigrant network created by controversial activist John Tanton. But all CIS is known for is distorting the realities of immigration. From the article:
"The fact is that those who want illegal immigrants to leave have sound reasons for doing that, and one is to free up some jobs at the bottom end of the labor market," said Steven Camarota, direct of research at the Center for Immigration Studies. The center's motto is "low immigration, pro immigrant."
"It is only one month of data, so we have to be careful, but it is a reminder of what the state legislature is trying to do," he said.
In a Daily Caller post, climate change skeptic Anthony Watts used familiar tactics to downplay human-induced climate change: He focused on national rather than global temperature data; he looked at a short time period rather than the long-term trend; and he portrayed routine data adjustments as deceptive doctoring by government agencies.
Daily Caller hack Matthew Boyle spent yesterday calling around to the spokespeople for Republican members of Congress and asking them if their bosses think Attorney General Eric Holder should resign over Operation Fast and Furious, and wouldn't you know it, he found a few willing to grandstand in the press. According to Boyle, "Republican Reps. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, John Mica of Florida, Quico Canseco of Texas and Gus Bilirakis of Florida each told The Daily Caller on Thursday that they believe Holder should step down now."
If you think that seems like an odd group of members of Congress that have nothing in common, you're right. If you think that almost definitely indicates that he reached out to some Republican congressional offices who either refused comment or wouldn't say Holder should step down, you're probably right. And if you think that it sounds like Boyle created a story rather than reporting one, you're definitely right.
But because Boyle is a hack, this is an indication that Holder's "tenure in the Obama administration may be coming to an end," because the number of members of Congress calling for his resignation "has doubled in one day." How the fact that relatively low-level Republican members of Congress don't support him would lead to him leaving the administration is left unsaid.
Because the Daily Caller is a hack publication, they are currently running this banner headline:
And of course, they have help from their friends at Fox News:
As we previously noted, Fox devoted nearly four times more evening coverage to a Republican congressman's call for a special counsel to investigate Holder than they gave to Senate Democrats who called for one to investigate Bush AG Alberto Gonzales. It will be interesting to see how much time they decide to give to Boyle's non-story.
Under the headline "UN Internet agenda tied to George Soros," the Daily Caller's Josh Peterson writes this morning that he's discovered connections between the billionaire philanthropist and the campaign to promote internet freedom:
Frank La Rue, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression who made summer headlines when he proclaimed Internet access as a basic human right, conducted his research and delivered his conclusions with the support of organizations funded by liberal financier George Soros, The Daily Caller has learned.
La Rue's statements on Internet freedom caused alarm among conservatives who believe "net neutrality" is a vehicle for a government takeover of the Internet.
How did they Daily Caller learn of these links between Soros and La Rue? Simple: both La Rue and the Soros-linked organizations involved have been completely open and transparent about their relationship. Peterson writes:
At a speech in April 2011 at the Soros-funded Central European University (CEU) in Hungary, La Rue talked at length about global fact-finding missions -- sponsored by Soros's OSI and the Swedish government -- on which he had embarked during 2010 to assess how unrestricted Internet access could meet citizens' human rights needs.
He links to a YouTube video of La Rue's speech, in which La Rue says outright that the Open Society Institute supported the "series of regional consultations" on which he embarked. The description of the YouTube video says: "La Rue's talk was sponsored by CEU's Center for Media and Communications Studies and the Open Society Archive." You can see the Open Society Archives logo plastered on the podium from which La Rue speaks. So... news?
Yesterday David Asman kicked off his Fox Business show, America's Nightly Scoreboard, by claiming that Solyndra "received a very generous set of tax breaks" from the Internal Revenue Service. Asman emphasized that this was "a tax break applied for Solyndra and only for Solyndra" and suggested that "political influence" may have played a role in the IRS decision.
But the tax credit didn't apply to Solyndra at all -- it applied to a manufacturing facility that was considering installing a Solyndra solar panel system. And this ruling is hardly unprecedented: it is one of many private letter rulings issued by the IRS to clarify which technologies qualify for energy tax credits.
Last month, Daily Caller reporter Matthew Boyle published a story that was basically catnip for the anti-regulation crowd. Citing a court brief from the Environmental Protection Agency, Boyle wrote that the EPA was "asking for taxpayers to shoulder the burden of up to 230,000 new bureaucrats -- at a cost of $21 billion -- to attempt to implement" new climate change regulations. Boyle also took to Twitter to broadcast how EPA administrator "LISA JACKSON wants an ARMY OF 230k BUREAUCRATS."
Predictably, the story got picked up by Fox News, the office of Sen. James Inhofe, and the usual climate-change-denial suspects. Unfortunately for them, Boyle's story was 100% false. Boyle completely misread the court brief, which detailed how the EPA had avoided the scenario he described.
Boyle's misfire was widely ridiculed, but rather than admit fault and correct the error, the Daily Caller stuck to their guns. Executive editor David Martosko compounded the damage to the publication's credibility by issuing a snide comment to Politico and following that with a misleading editor's note on the Caller website.
Apparently outside observers weren't the only ones aghast at Daily Caller's complete lack of standards. According to a report this morning by FishbowlDC's Betsy Rothstein, "newsroom sources" at the Caller were dismayed by Martosko's defense of Boyle's "pointedly bogus" story and "feared their reputations would be sullied by the widespread negative attention":
Martosko has undoubtedly been a controversial figure from the start. Newsroom sources say his profound defense of reporter Matthew Boyle and his recent EPA piece troubled reporters who believed the story was false and feared their reputations would be sullied by the widespread negative attention the ordeal received in publications such as Politico and parts of the right-wing media. They couldn't conceive why their editor was defending a story many considered pointedly bogus.
I suppose it's slightly reassuring that at least some people at the Caller are capable of acknowledging facts and reality -- too bad their executive editor doesn't seem to be one of them.
Writing for the Daily Caller, nativist crank Tom Tancredo argues that we're missing the big picture regarding the U.S. government's killing of terrorism suspect -- and U.S. citizen -- Anwar al-Awlaki:
Lost in this debate is whether al-Awlaki was ever really an American citizen.
Al-Awlaki was born in New Mexico in 1971. Both of his parents were Yemeni citizens in the United States on student visas. As a child, he moved to Yemen along with his parents. He returned to the U.S. as an adult on a foreign student visa.
Under the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment, al-Awlaki is considered an American citizen. Section 1 of the amendment opens, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." The operative phrase is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." During the ratification debates in 1866, Senator Lyman Trumbull, who was the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said that the phrase meant "not owing allegiance to anybody else" and that "partial allegiance if you please, to some other government" is disqualifying. It goes without saying that neither al-Awlaki nor his parents had any allegiance to America.
Anwar al-Awlaki was born in the United States. His parents were not in the service of a foreign government. Therefore, as laid out in the Constitution, he was an American citizen. Period. Full stop. QED.
What Tancredo describes as "the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment" is actually the historical interpretation going all the way back to Reconstruction and reaffirmed many times over by the courts. The only people who dissent from this established concept of American citizenship are post-birthers who refuse to give up the ghost regarding President Obama's citizenship, and anti-immigrant bigots (like Tancredo) who deliberately misunderstand the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" phraseology in order to argue against conferring citizenship on the children of undocumented immigrants.
A study published in the prestigious journal American Economic Review estimates that the costs imposed on society by air pollution from coal-fired power plants are greater than the value added to the economy by the industry. The study concluded that coal may be "underregulated" since the price we pay for coal-fired power doesn't account for its costs.
According to a Nexis search, not a single major newspaper or television network has covered the study. By contrast, an industry-funded report on the cost of EPA regulations of these air pollutants has received considerable media attention.
The authors of the American Economic Review paper -- Nicholas Muller of Middlebury College and Yale's William Nordhaus and Robert Mendelsohn -- are considered centrists. Mendelsohn opposed the Kyoto climate treaty and spoke this year at the right-wing Heartland Institute's conference on climate change.
Economist Paul Krugman wrote that the study should "be a major factor in how we discuss economic ideology," adding "It won't, of course." From Krugman's post:
It's important to be clear about what this means. It does not necessarily say that we should end the use of coal-generated electricity. What it says, instead, is that consumers are paying much too low a price for coal-generated electricity, because the price they pay does not take account of the very large external costs associated with generation. If consumers did have to pay the full cost, they would use much less electricity from coal -- maybe none, but that would depend on the alternatives.
At one level, this is all textbook economics. Externalities like pollution are one of the classic forms of market failure, and Econ 101 says that this failure should be remedied through pollution taxes or tradable emissions permits that get the price right. What Muller et al are doing is putting numbers to this basic proposition -- and the numbers turn out to be big. So if you really believed in the logic of free markets, you'd be all in favor of pollution taxes, right?
Since the media began covering the Occupy Wall Street protests, Fox has launched an all-out campaign to mock, attack, and discredit the movement. Fox personalities have claimed the protesters have "absolutely no purpose ... in life," called them the "sludge" of "every single left-wing cause," and claimed they are deluded. Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy has even complained they got "between me and a steak dinner."
On this morning's Fox & Friends, Doocy again went on the attack, attempting to discredit the protesters by hyping a Daily Caller story which claimed "Organizer admits to paying 'Occupy DC protesters.' "Doocy seized on the story, leading off the show by excitedly proclaiming "scandal":
Doocy teased the story by calling it "the scandal you got to hear to believe." The Daily Caller also heavily promoted the "scandal," making it the top story on their website this morning:
The Daily Caller is having quite the week of journalism.
Their newest descent into failure comes courtesy of one Anthony Watts, who claims to have proven conclusively that Al Gore "doctored a video that's supposed to prove his global warming theories." Here is the video, from Current TV, in which Bill Nye walks us through a simple experiment demonstrating the warming effects of carbon dioxide:
The experiment involves getting two jars, putting a thermometer in both, filling one with carbon dioxide, and heating them to observe how the temperature in the CO2-filled jar rises more quickly. Here's a screengrab of a jar with a thermometer.
The video demonstrates this effect with a split-screen video of two thermometers, one of which shows temperature rising more quickly on one than the other. Again, screengrab:
Watts claims this is malicious doctoring and that "Gore's video of the 'simple experiment' to make his case on CO2 and global warming is a complete fabrication done in post-production." After explaining how he purchased "the exact same props" to "recreate the experiment scene" and hired "a professional photographer with a top-of-the-line Canon D1 camera and Macro lens," Watts announces quite grandly that the thermometers shown on the split-screen "were not actually in the jars during the scene."
Of course, that conclusion is fairly obvious given that the lime-green background in the split-screen is not present in the jars. So all that money spent on props and professional photographers to prove this point was kind of a waste.
Also, it's not much of a point. Gore's people were demonstrating how to successfully conduct a simple experiment. And they dramatized the experiment's results likely because it makes for better video -- as Watts' professional photographer proved, shooting things through glass jars produces distorted images. That they didn't actually perform the experiment is moot.
And none of this says anything about the science of climate change. Carbon dioxide is a warming agent. No one really disagrees with that, and demonstrating how Gore's people edited their video does nothing to challenge that fact.
What is does do, however, is give the climate denialist set the opportinuty to croak about how Al Gore doctors videos to fake climate science, even though nothing was doctored, and the science remains solid.
Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller stands virtually alone in their steadfast and deliberately ignorant defense of reporter Matthew Boyle's story falsely alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency was "asking taxpayers to fund up to 230,000 new government workers."
They do have one high-profile supporter, though: Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). Inhofe's office pushed the false Daily Caller report when it was first published, and they posted a tangled defense of the article that Daily Caller executive editor David Martosko proudly brandished in his discursive editorial note lashing out at the (100-percent correct) critics of his publication's reporting.
That Inhofe would run to the Daily Caller's defense is not surprising. The Daily Caller has quite an amicable relationship with the Oklahoma Republican, based largely on shared skepticism of climate change science. Inhofe has granted several interviews to the Daily Caller, and the publication has a habit of simply repackaging Inhofe's public statements as "news." Articles that employ the "Sen. Inhofe said X today" formula pop up frequently in the Daily Caller archives, and Inhofe's office eagerly republishes those stories on the Environment and Public Works Committee press blog.
Also of note: a Daily Caller columnist bestowed upon Inhofe the 2010 "Award For Political Incorrectness" in recognition for "debunking" the "brazen chicanery" of "the global warming myth" -- an award the senator was happy to receive.
Here's a sampling of the Daily Caller's transcription-as-news treatment of Inhofe.
This week we caught Daily Caller reporter Matthew Boyle completely misreading a court brief to claim that the "EPA is asking taxpayers to fund up to 230,000 new government workers" to process greenhouse gas regulations "at an estimated cost of $21 billion." In reality, EPA was describing a scenario that it avoided by issuing a rule in May 2010 significantly reducing the number of facilities required to obtain permits for greenhouse gas emissions.
Boyle's report -- which was circulated by Sen. Inhofe's office and made its way to Fox News -- was just wrong. But rather than issue a correction, Daily Caller doubled down, telling Politico that "anyone who has spent more than a few months in Washington knows" EPA wouldn't try to "limit its own power." As more commentators noticed this brazen disregard for the facts, The Daily Caller came up with a more substantive response, still insisting the story "was spot-on and accurate":
Our story about the EPA was spot-on and accurate. It's true that the agency's court filing outlined a "tailoring rule" as a more gradual approach to hiring 230,000 people at a cost of $21 billion. But the EPA was clear that "the Tailoring Rule is calculated to move toward eventual full compliance with the statutory threshold" -- meaning it's not a question of if the EPA wants to triple its budget, but when.
Nope. The brief did not present the tailoring rule "as a more gradual approach to hiring 230,000 people at a cost of $21 billion." It presented the rule as a way to circumvent a scenario in which state and local agencies would need 230,000 employees to review 6.1 million permit applications. The rule phases in compliance, "thereby relieving the overwhelming regulatory burdens on both permitting authorities and literally millions of stationary sources."
You don't need 230,000 new workers if you don't have a massive flood of permit applications to process all at once. Instead of 6.1 million sources requiring operating permits, EPA expects 15,550 -- 97 percent of which can add greenhouse gases to the permits they already have for other pollutants.

Immediately after the accident, I told you guys that it will be many times worse than Chernobyl. Japanese government is hiding something and downplaying the risks.
Avoid the region and foods coming from Japan. In addition, shun big fishes such as whales, sharks fins, etc.
Your assertions do have the characteristics of goblins under the bed. But perhaps you can bring them into the open by providing information about the sources of your claims. In particular, what is the basis for your claim that Tokyo will have to be evacuated?
People may not think they are effected right now but in the years to follow, as children turn into adults and adults turn into senior citizens, their health most likely will turn for the worst and may not even make it to a later life. The government is underestimating this whole situation. The government may be in the slumps right now from this tsunami but it will only continue to go down hill as people will become more ill from the radiation.
Just another reason that no nuclear power plant is economic and only exists by reason of government financial support or poor regulatory oversight.
With the IPCC theory of global warming NOT proven - indeed much of the UEA CRU research has been proven flawed at best; it is well past time that Global Warmers were in court and suject to huge fines, long jail times and prohibition from ever holding public office or receiving public funds, similar to officers of publicly listed companies who break the full, true and plain disclosure laws.
@RobS Let's ask a few questions, shall we?
1. Just how did Tepco manage to keep radiation from leaking into the environment from its 3 melt-through reactors when they had not creating a sarcophagus?
2. What is meant by the term "cold shutdown" if the corium is sitting like a pancake in the basement?
3. How do you think the markets will react when they announce that Tokyo will need to be evacuated?
Here is a "goblin" just-off-the-press from the Japan Times:
An aerial radiation survey of the capital and Kanagawa Prefecture has revealed the northwest tip of Tokyo was tainted by an unusually high amount of fallout [... in] the mountainous Okutama region on Tokyo's western fringe. Radiation readings in the area were the highest of the two prefectures at 100,000 to 300,000 becquerels of radioactive cesium per square meter.
The hourly radiation readings in the area hovered between 0.2 and 0.5 microsievert, but a few spots had higher levels between 0.5 and 1.0 microsieverts, science official Hirotaka Oku said. [...]
There are many so-called experts out there who make a living frightening people with stories about goblins under your bed. They usually claim that their outlandish theories are suppressed by a conspiracy, so they use vehicles such as youtube to promote their viewpoint. Conspiracy theories about 9-11, ghastly stories about nuclear radiation, birther conspiracy stories about Obama all are found there. Take your pick which to believe.
Busby's hypotheses about the risk of radiation have been widely rejected by the scientific community because they have no biological basis nor is their any experimental evidence to support them. So he promotes his wild exaggerations to people who are ignorant of the science - you.
Yablokov repeatedly makes claims that Chernobyl killed 1M people, but provides NO scientific basis for his claims. He may as well have made up the numbers. And since the scientific community ignores his wild exaggerations, he too assigns their rejection to a conspiracy rather than attempting to justify the numbers he promotes.
The sterilization story is another unfounded claim.
This is not an example of the dangers of nuclear power. In general, more damage to the planet is done by the mining and manufacturing of oil than nuclear power plants. It is unfortunate that, when nuclear power does go wrong, it gets such a bad rap. Meanwhile oil companies are destroying miles of coastline with the frequent oil spills and no one blinks an eye. Nuclear power is (usually) a safe form of power generation. When the government neglects to bring the power plants up to code, and make them safe to work in and take the stress that nuclear power puts on a building, then we have accidents and problems.
It is typical for the anti-nuclear energy zealots to exaggerate. Imagine your argument applied to the risk of a Tsunami. Would you be advocating the removal of everybody from coastal areas threatened by tsunamis because 30,000 (not 6) people died in Japan? Why do you selectively worry about a risk which has caused far fewer deaths and damage?
Plutonium is lethal for about 500,000... the worst is the first 24,200 years! This region is now uninhabitable FOREVER.
We have lots of data about radioactive nucleide exposure, especially to children and worst of all for genetic damage to subsequent generations. I'm appalled that this does not appear to be common knowledge in USA. Surely I am no an exception.

Read up and get the facts... there is ample data out of Europe.
The developments in the area around the Fukushima persistently alarming the dreadful consequences of the nuclear crisis. It is so awkward that some countries are trying to magnify their reliance on the nuclear power, even after seeing the Fukushima tragedy!
These fools are blowing off the complete and verified studies done by the U.S. government proving the incidence of cancers from residual radioactivity emanating from nuclear bomb testing in Nevada and New Mexico. Linus Pauling earned an authentic Nobel Prize for proving this radioactive fallout/increases in cancer rates corelation before the U.S. government did. The Japanese and the previous and current American wanker presidential administrations have completely ignored these studies to save money for their friends at the expense of killing thousands of innocent people with this radiation. The Economist should be shamed for not pointing this out. Print this, turkeys.
The government "underestimated" the danger of the nuclear radiation. If I heard these words, I would definitely not feel safe. The nuclear tragedy has made many people move away from their homes. Their question is if it is safe to go back home. The government should not persuade these people to go back home until all the radiation is cleaned. It is for the safety of those people, and especially their children. The cleaning of the radiation will take some time. During this time, the government needs to be able to provide for these homeless people. The children are the future for the country, and they need to particularly give attention to them. The government needs to do everything to clean up the radiation. The people should feel safe and confident to go back home. Nobody wants to live in an area that is filled with harmful radiation.
It gives me a terrible feeling to see how many families in Japan are suffering because of the tsunami that hit the nuclear power plant. The aftermath is clearly evident, especially in the small town of Iitate. It is astounding to put in perspective exactly how much is affected by radiation, "2,419 square kilometres of contaminated soil—an area larger than greater Tokyo." Since this is affecting the child population, it is a great matter of concern. Japan needs to do all it can to help alleviate the dangers and exposure, especially for the children's health. As a result of the radiation spread, children are leaving and that is the last thing Japan wants to happen, in particular, children are important for the revival of Iitate.
The way people like you continually bash nuclear power astounds me.
The Fukushima reactors were constructed in the 1970s. They operated well beyond their intended lifetimes, ignored engineering best practices, and ignored needed safety upgrades. To me, that says nothing about the technology and everything about the regulatory environment and company running them.
In the 1970s, computers less powerful than a pocket calculator fit into whole rooms and operated off of punched tape. Continuing to judge nuclear technology based on plants with obsolete designs that operate well beyond their lifetimes - mainly because insurance companies and political notaries do not let them construct new, modern plants - is a self-fulfilling anti-nuclear prophecy.
The first new American nuclear plant in 30 years is being built by Southern Electric Power. I admit that shutting down old plants is very necessary - indeed, more than necessary - but I'll judge the safety of the technology (not the industry) by SEP's new reactors, thank you very much.
Keep in mind these radiation reading are going down by 4 after a year, and by 10 after 10 years. (decay rates)
I simply suspect the government is banking on the fact that the 20 mSv limit for the first year, will actually mean 5 mSv for the second year and going down further until it does reach 2 mSv/year in 10 years.
Nonetheless, I don't know about the chemical nature of the stuff blowing in the wind, even though its no more radioactive it can still affect health (mercury, lead and heavy metals are toxic, yet not radioactive, several industry emit them).
This article shows the danger of nuclear power plants in every aspect. There is one statement, that you read in every article, that is about trouble caused by nuclear power plants: "the danger has been underestimated by the government/the company/the people..." I know many people in the US who say: "hold on, in all these years with nuclear power plants in the US, nobody has been killed caused by this technology." However the unnbelieveble and understimated danger is there and everyone should be scared while thinking about it and reading this article. Thats way the future way should be without this technology, this doesnt have to change revolutionary, however people should recognize, that a way must be found to get there.
Tsunami after an earthquake, then there were issues with nuclear plant. Japan has been through a really tough time. I hope the government of Japan will fix the problem soon, and their citizens can return to their home.
